Sahih Hadith Regarding Salah being the difference between Disbelief and Faith
Narrated Jabir:
that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Between disbelief and faith is abandoning the Salat." [Jami Al-Tirmidhi 2618]
Sahih Hadith Regarding Encouragement to Seek Knowledge
It was narrated that Zirr bin Hubaish said:
"I went to Safwan bin 'Assal Al-Muradi and he said: 'What brought you here?' I said: 'I am seeking knowledge.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There is no one who goes out of his house in order to seek knowledge, but the angels lower their wings in approval of his action.'" [Sunan Ibn Majah 226]
Hadith Regarding the luckiest person, who will gain Prophet Muhammad's intercession on the Day of Resurrection
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said: "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah
(لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ)." [Sahih al-Bukhari 99]
Sahih Hadith Regarding Imam Mahdi
Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The Mahdi will be from my progeny, his nose will be high, he will be the embodiment of modesty and shame, his hair will be flowing from the front of his forehead. He will fill the earth with justice and fairness, just as it will have been filled with oppression and tyranny before him." Saying this, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) spread his left hand and joined his index and middle fingers with his thumb, making the sign of three. [Mustadrak Al Hakim 8670]
Hadith Regarding the Reconquest of Constantinople(Istanbul) and the Release of Masih Ad-dajjal(Anti-Christ)
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ). [Sahih Muslim 2897]
Al-A'maq is a place in southern Türkiye and Dabiq is a place in northern Syria.
Hadith Regarding Virtues of Performing Ablution and Salah
'Amr b Sa'id b al-As reported:
I was with Uthman, and he called for ablution water and said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: When the time for a prescribed prayer comes, if any Muslim performs ablution well and offers his prayer with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major sin; and this applies for all times. [Sahih Muslim 228]
Hadith Regarding Prohibition of Worshiping Anyone along with Allah
Narrated `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Anyone who dies worshipping others along with Allah will definitely enter the Fire." I said, "Anyone who dies worshipping none along with Allah will definitely enter Paradise." [Sahih al-Bukhari 1238]
Sahih Hadith Regarding Washing the Vessel that has been licked by a Dog
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him wash it seven times, the first time with dust." [Sunan An-Nasai 338]
Sahih Hadith Regarding Cats being Pure
It was narrated from Kabshah bint Ka'ab bin Malik that Abu Qatadah entered upon her, then she narrated the following:
"I poured some water for him for Wudu', and a cat came and drank from it, so he tilted the vessel for it to drink." Kabshah said: "He saw me looking at him and said: 'Are you surprised, O daughter of my brother?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'They are not impure, rather they are among the males and females (animals) who go around among you." [Sunan An-Nasai 340]
My Analysis on the American and Israeli attacks on Iran
First of all I would like to make it clear that I have got huge differences with the Iranian regime and I have often often criticized Iran for its wrongdoings but in this dire situation I pray for Iran to be victorious victorious over the US and Israel. Those Muslims who have got any sort of sectarian, ideological differences with the Iranian regime must bury those differences and must side with Iran. No matter how bad Iran is it is still way better then the US or Israel. Iran is a Muslim country and it has got a rich Islamic history and tradition so if Iran is defeated then this history and tradition will also be erased. Many great Muslim empires like Seljuks, Ghaznavids, Safavids, Ottomans and various Muslim empires in the Indian Subcontinent were very much culturally Persian although most of them were ethnically non Persian. Many great Muslim scholars like Imam Bukhari, Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Ghazali, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Al Farabi, Nasiruddin Al-Tusi, Nizam al-Mulk etc were also Persian. Infact many great Muslim scholars have been buried in Iran. The fall of Iran to the US and Israel would mean the loss of all this rich cultural, historical, scholarly and philosophical tradition that Iran is home to so we as Muslim Ummah can not allow a part of the Ummah like Iran that has such rich Islamic history and tradition to be defeated. The victory of Iran would mean the victory of the Ummah and Iran is part of the Ummah. Allah says in the Holy Quran;
Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere. [Surah Anfal verse no.46]
So in these testing moments all the Muslims should bury the differences they have with each other and must support Iran in its resistance against the US and Israeli imperialism. In his latest statement Trump has once again threatened to attack Iran and destroy its civilian infrastructure if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz. While this shows Trump's frustration from the losses that have been inflicted by Iran on the US and Israel it also shows that Trump would do something quite evil if he doesn't get his desired evil ambitions. It also shows his criminal mindset. Let's pray to Allah that everything goes right and Iran is victorious over the America and Israel. I also wrote in my previous article and I would write it again that if the Ummah doesn't stand up for Iran then this US and Israeli imperialism will not stop infact it is highly likely they could target other powerful Muslim countries like Pakistan or Türkiye. This is the pattern that we have observed for the last three decades when America and its allies have invaded various Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Syria etc. The leaders of the Ummah have not done anything at all to support the Muslims suffering in these countries or to stop America and its allies from invading these countries. They either remained silent or in most cases they were complicit in the sufferings of these Muslim states. The reason is that most of the leaders of the Ummah do not have the courage to stand up and challenge the West. The second reason is that the leaders of the Ummah care more about their wealth then the sufferings of the Ummah. They do not use their wealth to support Muslims resisting oppression but they use this wealth to buy expensive properties or to invest in Western countries. The disunity within the Ummah is also an important factor which has weakend the Ummah. Let us not forget the fact that the leaders of the Ummah have also disappointed our Muslim brothers who are suffering in Palestine, Kashmir, East Türkistan and elsewhere by not taking any concrete steps to help them. These reasons have emboldened the Western imperialist states and also China and Russia to kill our innocent Muslim brothers because they know that the leaders of the Ummah will not do anything to stop them. Some people would argue that it is wrong for Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz. My response to this is that why were you silent when both Europe and America have over the years imposed brutal sanctions and embargos on various countries which do not bow down to American or European imperialism? These sanctions have resulted in the deaths of Millions of people in those countries and gave also devastated their economies. Now when Iran has taken the control of the Strait of Hormuz and is charging fares on ships that are passing through you come and finally Europe and America starts to taste the medicine of what they have been doing in the past you guys come and cry about the closure Strait of Hormuz. In fact all of you should be ashamed of yourself for this hypocrisy.
Now I would also like to address the monarchies of the gulf states. I am not saying that Iran is doing a right thing by bombing the gulf countries but their are some important things which we should not forget. I am not in favor of Iran attacking civilian infrastructure of the gulf states even if America and Israel bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure. Iran should show that they are morally better than Israel and America. In my opinion Iran's attacks should be only limited to targeting Israel, American military bases and Economic interests. All the gulf states have called upon Iran not to violate their sovereignty by attacking their countries. Eventhough most of the attacks by Iran have been carried out against American military bases present in their countries. Well the real question here arises that are these Gulf countries truly sovereign? I mean how can you be sovereign if you have a foreign Military base in your own country? I would also ask them that why did they violate the sanctity and sovereignty of the Ummah by allowing American military bases in their own countries? These bases have also been used by America to attack Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria etc. which has resulted in the deaths of Millions of innocent Muslims. Now these same bases are also being used to attack Iran so it is Iran's right to attack these military bases. Similarly these Gulf states have criticized Iran for bombing the energy infrastructure of the gulf countries but I need to ask them a simple question that why didn't they condemn Israel's genocide in Palestine or the invasion in Lebanon? Infact many gulf states were complicit in Israel's genocide in Palestine. They also didn't do anything when America violated the sovereignty of Iraq and Afghanistan by invading them infact the military bases present in these Gulf states were used to attack Afghanistan, Iraq and other Muslim nations. Why have these Gulf countries not criticized or threatened Israel and America for attacking Iran's energy infrastructure?
All the oil that exists in these rich gulf states belongs to the entire Ummah. The money earned by selling this oil should be used for the betterment of the Ummah. It should be used to help those who are resisting oppression against imperialism or to eradicate poverty that exists around the world but instead all this money that is earned by selling this oil is used by these monarchies of the Gulf states to build lavish palaces or to instigate violence in other Muslim countries etc. Apart from this the money that these Gulf states earn by selling this oil is invested in various Western countries which is then used by them to fund wars against our Muslim brothers. All the tall buildings that are present in various Middle Eastern or Gulf states have been built by importing cheap labour from countries such as Pakistan, India or Philippines etc. In reply not only are these labourers paid poorly but they are treated as slaves. Those Muslim countries who think that Israel will stop after removing the Iranian regime are wrong because Israel can not stop as it has to instigate chaos in other Muslim countries for its survival. Infact at this very moment Israel is invading Lebanon but Hezbollah is fighting quite impressively to resist Israel. When all this is happening Israel is still busy murdering our innocent Palestinian brothers. I call upon the Ummah to stand up to this injustice and to mobilize in order to put pressure on the leaders of the Ummah to break the shackles of slavery and end this humiliation that the Ummah is going through. It is for the first time in the last two centuries that Muslims have a chance to be actually independent and break free of Western slavery. O Muslims remember the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH in which he said that all Muslims are brothers to each other. At the moment your brothers are facing oppression around the world so you should not be silent. You should stand up to all this oppression and give a strong message to the enemies of Islam that the Ummah will not allow this to happen. We must give a strong message to the leaders of the Ummah as well who are actually hostage of the Western countries that if they can not do anything to end all this oppression then they must step aside and allow those people to lead the Ummah who are actually worthy of leading the Ummah. I call upon the Ummah especially the leaders of the Ummah to not fear anyone but Allah because only he is the one worthy enough to be feared and not to be be held hostage by your worldly desires. We should not abandon our Muslim brothers who are facing oppression around the world and we should support them in their resistance against oppression. The Western countries especially America and Israel are at war with Islam so the Ummah mush prepare to face them.
While Israel is bombing Iran it is also invading Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have resulted in the deaths of more than thousand innocent civilians. It is doing so because it is frustrated that it has failed to eradicate Hezbollah which was previously thought to have been weakend significantly. Hezbollah is fighting quite bravely and they have inflicted heavy blows on Israel. The Houthis in Yemen are also doing a good job. They have also attacked Israel by launching missiles at Israel. I pray to Allah that both Hezbollah and Houthis are victorious over the enemies of Islam.
O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Iran, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.
